Default Brakes Squeeel'n

The mechanic says that my brakes are fine, but everytime they get a little hot they squeel really bad. Just wondering if it is time to get new pads or rotors, or maybe just upgrade completely?

Default Try a few really hard stops, allowing for cool down between each one...like 60 mph to 5mph...

clean those ******* off.

Default They only squeal when hot?

Not sure where the noise is coming from if they only make noise when hot. If the noise were consistent I'd say your pads were dead.

The techs at Thoroughbred said the rear brakes on my A4 were below "minimum spec," so I think if they were low they'd tell ya. Not sure what the problem is, bud. Try bedding them like ZephyrS4 said.

Whatever it is, I'm sure you can cure it by sniping some big red Brembo calipers to match your car.
